Near the Cross: Nationhood and Hope Zine

Near the Cross is a self-published photography zine created in dialogue with the exhibition Nationhood: Memory and Hope, commissioned by Bradford 2025 and Impressions Gallery for the UK City of Culture.

Bringing together photographs made in Bradford with text drawn from reflection and testimony, Near the Cross considers the place of Britain’s Black communities today.

These images are rooted in authenticity and emotional depth. They dwell in the in between, in the quiet and often overlooked connections that shape lives of faith, loss, resilience and belonging.
